4G Vs 4G LTE, Which Is Faster by GentleNaaz(m): 5:25pm On Feb 17, 2019
4G vs 4G LTE, Which is faster
Re: 4G Vs 4G LTE, Which Is Faster by khalhokage(m): 5:29pm On Feb 17, 2019
They're the same thing, 4G is the common name for LTE,
in the same way that
2G = GPRS and EDGE
3G = UMTS
3.5G & 3.7G = HSDPA

2G GPRS
2.5G IS EDGE
HSDPA IS H .
HSPA IS H+

.

This is the confusion many people face.
Many phones show 4G mean while the network is 3.5G hspa. Some phones approximates 3.5G to 4G. While some phones will show H+
That's why some people think they are on 4G but its actually 3G.

4G is same as 3.5G.



The main 4G is LTE.

Yeah


Even Etisalat don't have 4G
Etisalat is operating on 3.7G

LTE stand for " long term evolution"

I doubt if Glo really has 4G

The only network i can bet my balls on is Airtel
Airtel is confirmed 4G LTE

Empty hen self is a doubt

They don't have 4G in Benin. So i doubt

4G and 4G LTE don't mean the same thing.
Yes 4G is fast but is not as fast as 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution)

LTE is the true standard technology of 4th generation wireless technology. In 4G LTE all the required standards have been met. It is the true standard required by International Telecommunications Union. ITU.
Take it like, 4G LTE is the improved form of 4G.

Then, 4G and 3.7G are not the same. Someone said they are same up there which is wrong.

4G is not the same as 3.5G, this confusion is a result of false advertising by ISPs, the only phones you will see 4G when they're actually not on a 4G network are carrier locked phones, it's similar to what is happening in the US today where Sprint has sued ATnT for claiming 5G when they're still on 4G.

What I'm saying is, using industry standards instead of false advertising of unscrupulous companies 3.5G and 4G are completely different.

that means when i see H+ on my glo line, its actually on EDGE cos the speed doesn't exceed 30kbps? grin

Forget i said that, most US carrier unlocked phone will display 4g when on 3.5g network. LTE is added when on a 4g network proper

Technically they are not the same.
Nobody is dragging that.
I'm only being realistic with what happens in the real life on their phones.
Some Phones on Hspa will show 4g. Thatsall
